VN demands China stop construction on Hoang Sa, Truong Sa
Answering a reporter’s question about Viet Nam’s response to China’s start of the construction of two lighthouses on Truong Sa islands, the FM asserted that Viet Nam has sufficient legal and historical evidence to prove its sovereignty over the two archipelagos.
China’s construction of the two lighthouses violates Viet Nam’s sovereignty and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), which was signed between ASEAN and China in 2002.
Viet Nam asked China to strictly follow and execute international law, especially the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 and the DOC, as well as prevent any activities that complicate the East Sea situation, he added.
